New lodge added to the Spring Creek community in Canmore

The Spring Creek Mountain Village signs stand at the corner of Main Street and Spring Creek Drive in Canmore, Alberta.

There’s a new building springing up in Spring Creek in downtown Canmore.

Jack Pine Lodge is the sixth residential development in the community and the fourth condominium building in the last two years in the town 45 minutes west of Calgary – a town that has bucked the downward trend in housing, says Ross Jensen, Spring Creek Realty sales manager.

“Canmore has consistently shown a resiliency in the face of a slower market in Alberta,” says Jensen. “We’ve had a substantial increase in home sales and a significant increase in property value.”

The lodge is named for Jack Kernick, who, along with his brother Don Kernick, built the Restwell Trailer Park on the Spring Creek lands, says Frank Kernick, Jack’s son and president of the Spring Creek development company.

“Jack Pine Lodge is the next step in our master plan for Spring Creek,” says Frank. “The demand for property in Canmore is continuing to grow due to the ideal location close to Main Street and all the amenities of this great town.”

There are 49 suites, in a combination of one-, two- and three-bedroom, generously-sized layouts, says Jensen.

“The development has been designed with an array of amenities for stylish and comfortable mountain living including a garden hot tub, exercise room, underground heated parking, geothermal heating and cooling, with a modern atmosphere accompanied by upgraded interior finishes,” he says. “Jack Pine Lodge has been crafted specifically with Canmore locals in mind and is zoned for residential use.

“It is located at the western edge of the neighbourhood, next to White Spruce Lodge, and will deliver some of the best views within the Spring Creek community, including the signature Canmore views of the Three Sisters Peaks.”

Residents will enjoy more open, green living space than ever before, with the aim to design the ideal mountain condominium home for local families and couples looking to move into the coveted neighbourhood, says Frank.

“Here at Spring Creek, we are excited to welcome all future Jack Pine Lodge residents,” he says. “Our aim is to create homes that provide a comfortable, relaxed and luxurious lifestyle for residents to enjoy for many years to come.”

Spring Creek is a 70-acre development, made up of five condominium lodges, a seniors residence, two creekside villas and eight single-family estates, which are all more than 80 percent sold.

This past November, Canmore’s first four-star luxury hotel, the Malcolm Hotel, opened in the community, which also has a number of shops and services, including a boutique liquor store and a tavern/restaurant.

The community is within walking distance of downtown Canmore, which boasts some of the best restaurants in Alberta, as well as a good selection of other shops and services, says Frank.

“Just minutes away are Safeway, Sobey’s, Canadian Tire and other big box brands,” he says. “Spring Creek continues to develop and build a sense of community within Canmore and is a major supporter of the wider Canmore community, including the annual Canmore Highland Games.”
